Going to Philadelphia? Then ditch the guidebook and follow these famous locals as they show you the City of Brotherly Love their way. -

Dawn Staley
Head coach of women's basketball at Temple University, former USA Women's National Team member, and former WNBA star

"One of the spots I love most in Philly is Tangerine, down in Old City. The ambience is very cool - it's got a pretty hip lounge area, and the dining room is nice. I almost never get to eat there, though, because of my schedule. But [when I do], Tangerine has me covered. They have an amazing arugula salad, and they're happy to make it to go for me. If you're always on the move like I am, this is your place."

Rich Hofmann
Sports columnist for the
Philadelphia Daily News
"I love places where you can sit at the bar and have an early dinner and just hang out, and Amici Noi invites it. The Italian menu is simple and excellent; the soups are homemade. When you're wandering around Old City on a cold Saturday afternoon, just checking out the world and absorbing Philly's history, this is the perfect pit stop."

Phil Martelli
Head coach of men's basketball at Saint Joseph's University

"Make a stop at the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul. The structure was modeled after the Lombard Church of Saint Charles in Rome, and it dates back to 1846. It's absolutely stunning - one of Philadelphia's true treasures. Go there and find yourself refreshed by its beauty."
